Receiving the Ordinances and Blessing of the Temple

By: Lynn Davis

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that the Church would not be fully organized, in its proper order, until the Temple was completed, where places would be provided for the administration of the ordinances of the Priesthood. He also taught the purpose for gathering the Lord's people was to build temples and for his people to receive the ordinances, the blessings, and the glories that God had in store for them.

We discussed the wide range of experiences individuals have in the temple...some amazingly visionary, others less dramatic but quietly peaceful. The blessings of the temple we talked about include increased spiritual power, strengthening families, and increased faith in God and the strength to lengthen our strides. Our goal in regards to temple attendance/service is to GOal.....
